Everyone loves having good friends because they care for you, keep your secrets, entertain you, and best of all they comfort you. On February 4th, Facebook was celebrating their 12th birthday, and that is also the day that they celebrated Friends Day. There are a couple of reasons why the company celebrates Friends Day, and here are three.
REASON 1
On the Facebook newsroom, a blog was posted that mentioned how the Facebook community, over the last five years, has doubled in size. It was later stated in the post that the degrees of separation between two average users are continuing to drop. In 2011, this number was 3.74 degrees, but it has since dropped to 3.57 degrees. This drop signifies that the world is getting closer, and that inspires Facebook to celebrate Friends Day.
REASON 2
If the first reason wasn’t proof enough of their dedication, Facebook also released a custom Friends Day video to the public. The video linked several special moments between friends and showed the significance of having a great friend. This video can also be shared and edited by users, so they can show their great experiences with their friends. So, find this video and share your awesome experiences.
REASON 3
One of the best things that users can do on Friends Day is sharing their stories. As a matter of fact, there is a Facebook group, GirlCrew, and their goal is to find women in all areas to organize events. As of right now, there are about 22,000 people that are involved in this group. Facebook also decided to host a Friends Day event, and 18 members of the community shared their awesome stories. It is truly great that they decide to celebrate this day every year. Having good friends is as important as anything is in the entire world, and the company proves it.
